Konnichiwa,
My name is Risa and I am originally from Kyoto, Japan. I have eight years experience as a private tutor in the UK and currently teach students from the age of 6 to 72.
I am passionate about sharing my culture and language with my students and would be delighted to support your Japanese learning journey.

About the lesson

All levels are welcome!

Learning a new language can be challenging, but it is also an interesting and exciting opportunity!

- If you’re a beginner, I can go through the fundamentals and the essential building blocks to help you start speaking Japanese. I am also fluent in English to make it little easier to begin. Lessons can based around text books or discussing your interests or passions.

- Already familiar with Japanese? I offer tailored lessons for individuals seeking regular conversational practice to enhance or maintain language proficiency.

️- Planning a trip to Japan? Learning the language can be a great way to improve your experience. My lessons can combine basic communication with cultural insights and etiquette guidance.

+Opportunity to learn Kansai-dialect from genuine Kansai native!

I am an Enhanced DBS-certified professional.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

Perfect! Risa has a friendly and relaxed approach to learning - she also creates structured and helpful lesson plans where I can learn grammar points and then practice using them in conversations. I have only had a few lessons but I am already very glad to be learning with Risa and I look forward to future lessons!

Perfect! I’ve been having Japanese lessons with Risa for around two months now and I’m thoroughly enjoying them. She is patient, kind, and funny, and always takes her time to explain everything clearly. I have two sessions a week and really look forward to them. The lessons are helping me so much as I prepare for a language course in Kyoto in November and for my many trips back and forth to Japan.
